Calculate Your Crushed Rock Needs

Our Crushed Rock Calculator helps you determine the volume and weight of material required for your project, ensuring you order the right amount from your supplier. This tool is perfect for planning driveways, pathways, drainage beds, or other landscaping features.

How to Calculate

The calculation is based on the volume of the area you need to fill. Simply provide:

  • Length and Width: The dimensions of your project area, in either feet or meters.
  • Depth: How deep you want the layer of crushed rock to be. For projects measured in feet, depth is often entered in inches and converted.
  • Material Density: The calculator includes an average density for crushed rock (~1.6 tons/yd³), but you can adjust this value for greater accuracy if you know the specific density from your supplier.
  • The calculator will provide the total volume (in cubic yards or meters) and the total weight (in tons or tonnes), making it easy to budget and order your materials.
